Funny because Baseball America, who I trust infinitely more than SI for draft coverage, rates Gray as the best prospect available in the draft.

If the Astros pass on Gray, watch out for Reese McGuire, a high school catcher from Washington State. Granted McGuire is a darkhorse, but Luhnow likes surprises (as he proved by taking high school shortstop Carlos Correia number one overall last year) and McGuire is a perfect fit financially for Houston's first pick criteria.

This is also some awful coverage, first spell the kids name right. Second McGuire has almost no chance of going that high. Third, Correa wasn't a surprise pick to anyone following the draft, hell BA rated him the second best player in their most updated rankings before the draft, only behind Buxton. (By the Buxton has been freaking amazing so far.)
